Inner Cities

Love is a country can I visit you there

Life is a city we would live somewhere

In the center on top of some bar

With a view of all the traffic the rivers of cars

I just can't believe the dangers one must survive

Couldn't leave alive even if we tried

While all the bad girls and sad boys

Sharpen their knives

Inner cities of our lives

I'd write you from the airport

I'd write you from hotels

I'll write you from the other side

And I hope it finds you well

You know I'll never be

Like one of those cynics on T V

Life is not a transit hall

No backstage lounge

No long forgotten shopping mall

Now the whole world's missing out on you

I cried and knew we travel light

To the inner cities of our lives

To the inner cities of our lives

I know it doesn't help staring at the clock

Knowing tonight the time will stop

I round up the demons surrounding me

I like to see their manager please

I lit a candle and knew it's light

Could handle the darkness the entire night

Now the only chance that we'll ever meet

Is if I'd see you on the street

In the inner cities of our live

In the inner cities of our live
